The period from the late 1970s to 2020s became the best of times for America’s corporate class. As profits grew along with the wealth and income that they delivered for their stockholders and management, their goal was to set new rules for the rest of us to live by with a clear class agenda. Institutions have been organized, government policies reoriented, and economists, journalists, and politicians recruited, funded, and promoted. And so it has not been the best of times for working families, as inequality, stagnant wages, debt, and ever longer working hours became their fate. This book critically analyzes those who very deliberately set out to implement policies enacted at the state and federal level in order to redistribute wealth and income upwards and change the balance of power in the United States in response to the class, gender, and racial challenges that resulted in compressed income and wealth differentials before the 1980s.
